Yep. Specifically it’s because the flour is not generally sanitized/processed in any way that removes bacteria from the grain or the finished product.

Flour is traditionally only used as an ingredient and will through the cooking process experience heat high enough to kill any bacteria.

If you want to make safe cookie dough to eat raw at home just spread the flour on a sheet tray and toast it in the oven at ~200 degrees for something like 10 minutes. There’s specific directions online.

Yes, all are welcome in Minnesota, even in those rural areas. There are some backwards people but, as a lifelong Minnesotan, I choose to believe its just because they haven’t met or known any trans people themselves.

What was surreal to me is the doctor is telling me this and I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. I wanted to argue. I’ve heard “diet and exercise” for so long it was like a conditioned response kicking on.

Apparently overeating/obesity has been categorized as a chronic disease since 2013. I was just talking to a weight management doctor who was explaining that there’s actually hormonal responses that differ person to person that play a huge role.

Your dogs might be chill but I bet all the other dogs find their unsolicited advice and wildly off base assumptions annoying.

Using your logic they’re also probably pretty thin skinned when called out on it.

Well damn! You’re 0/2!!! Look at you go!

Maybe, just maybe, two comments on Lemmy, one not even directly about our dogs, isn’t enough for your armchair analysis.

Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to actually eat your hat, though that was a foolish thing to say.

Firstly, nobody comes to our door “unexpectedly”. We’re alerted and have them on camera before they hit our front walk.

Secondly, our dogs lose their minds barking when my wife comes home from work, when we have expected company, when we come back from running errands, when our neighbor comes home from work and slams his car door etc. etc. etc.

It’s almost like they both have high amounts of guard dog breeds in them.

I’m there with you.

We have a camera on the driveway and the front walk. We have a sign at the start of the front walk that, in compliance with state/federal law requirements, says no politics (among others). Anybody who makes it to the door gets yelled at for not reading the sign and asked for their permit from the city to go door to door.

We really don’t like people, outside of expected visitors/deliveries, coming to our door. Our dogs lose their minds barking and then are on high alert for a while going off at every little noise.

Political texts, regardless of party or content, get an automatic delete and mark junk. Same with emails.

Mailers don’t make it into the house and go right into the recycling.

We don’t vote based on the best marketing campaign.

I want to show some love to B&H Photo. They’re one of my go to’s specifically for tech stuff.

I feel like people give up on in store if they can’t find it at a big box store and go to the online equivalent of a big box store (Amazon).

Anybody who puts in a little effort should be able to find a specialty store either in person or online.

Assuming the US lasts long enough I’d imagine there’s two potential outcomes:

1. Enough people will have grown up facing gun violence, school shooter drills etc. that there’ll finally be enough people to effect change.

2. With any luck all the gun nuts end up shooting each other allowing the rest to live in relative peace.
